Hi all .
I have been living in Qatar for 7 months , my family joined me 4 months ago . We were wondering if we will be able to import our Archery equipment from South Africa . We practice target shooting and find it most relaxing for mind and body .

Any advice and info welcome

Regards Harry

you got two options:

1. Its either you go to qatar police and customs department and get permision from them

or

2. You go to athlethics department and get a letter from them stating that the items for import is for recreational purposes.

Your Bow lands on Dangerous Items category.

Any other queiries...let me know.....

No matter how many times you fall.......It will still hurt!!!!!!!Ouch!!!

Dont take my word for it...if it comes under sporting items you could get them imported. Wait for some more replies from the other guys around here:P

Are you searching for sites for bows? Why not check with sports shops around Qatar? If that doesnt work out i think they have those clay thingy shooting ranges in Qatar, take that up as a hobby :D

I seriously doubt it coz it will be considered as a weapon and those are not allowed in Qatar. I could be wrong but why not check if bows are available in Qatar?
